SMALL-SPACE COMPANION

Haworthia

Haworthia & Haworthiopsis

A small rosette for a bright shelf. Its compact size makes careful watering and drainage especially important.

Light

Bright light; avoid sudden harsh sun

Water

Allow the mix to dry between watering

Growth

A compact succulent rosette

Use a free-draining mix suitable for succulents and a pot with drainage holes. Let the mix dry between waterings and reduce watering when growth slows. Avoid leaving water trapped around the base or inside a sealed decorative pot. Introduce stronger sunlight gradually, since a plant grown in shade can scorch after a sudden move. Species and growing conditions vary; check the label rather than relying on appearance alone.
